Performance Management
Performance management represents the Agency's commitment to managing for results in order to achieve the best possible development outcomes.
USAID pioneered and promoted a culture of defining and organizing activities around the end result. Key elements of managing for results are the principles of transparency - providing the public with information about what the Agency is doing; and accountability - holding itself accountable to stakeholders by achieving results and maintaining the credibility of the Agency.
Performance management is the systematic process of:
- Monitoring the achievements of program operations;
- Collecting and analyzing performance information to track progress toward planned results;
- Using performance information to influence decision-making and resource allocation; and
- Communicating results achieved, or not attained, to advance organizational learning and tell the Agency's story
Summarized results achieved for fiscal years 2005-2008 are provided in the following USAID Performance Trends spreadsheet (MS Excel, 56kb) . The file contains a representative set of approximately 38 performance indicators with results from FY2005-2008 and targets for FY2009 and FY2010.
